Terms of Service — BannerlordDB

Version dated 2 October 2026. This English version is provided for information only — the binding version is Polish, see § 16.

This is an English translation of the Polish Terms of Service (/regulamin) provided for convenience. In case of any discrepancy, the Polish version prevails.

1. General provisions

The provider and administrator of the BannerlordDB service (the "Service") is Bartosz Woźnica, contact e-mail: contact@bannerlorddb.com (the "Provider"). The Service operates at bannerlorddb.com.

• User — anyone using the Service, registered or not;
• Guest — a User without an Account;
• Account — a User's individual profile in the Service;
• Query — one message sent by a User to the AI chat.

2. Fan-made nature of the Service

BannerlordDB is a non-commercial, fan-made tool about the game Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. The Service is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by TaleWorlds Entertainment. Mount & Blade, Bannerlord and related marks are trademarks of TaleWorlds Entertainment. All game content remains the property of its respective owners.

3. Scope of the Service

The Service provides, free of charge:

• an AI-powered chat answering questions about Bannerlord, backed by a knowledge base extracted from the game's files;
• a "Smithing" tab — a crafting-set generator and manual weapon design;
• a "Character" tab — character build planning tools;
• "Units" and "Trade" tabs — troop rankings and trade and workshop calculators;
• a "Politics" tab — an overview of kingdom policies and factions for the selected game/mod profile (vanilla or supported mods);
• "Wanderers", "Map" and "Encyclopedia" tabs — an overview of companions, the game world map and an encyclopedia of game objects;
• an optional Account allowing chat history, character builds, policy sets, smithing sets, hand-made weapons, army plans and equipment sets to be saved, and a free daily Query allowance.

All of the above is and remains free of charge. Users may voluntarily support the running of the Service with a donation — the rules for donations and for the assistant credits and the higher saved-set limit granted as a thank-you are set out in § 7.

4. Technical requirements

Using the chat and other tabs requires a browser with JavaScript and local storage (localStorage) enabled — the application will not run without them. These Terms and the Privacy Policy remain readable without JavaScript, at the addresses linked in the Service footer.

5. Account

Registration is optional and requires only a username (3–32 characters: letters, digits, underscore) and a password (minimum 8 characters). The Service does not collect an e-mail address or any other contact details during registration.

As a consequence, a forgotten password cannot be recovered, and the Service sends no notifications outside the application itself. Losing your password means losing access to your Account and its data.

A logged-in session is valid for 30 days from the last login and is stored in the browser's local storage (not in a cookie). Logging out invalidates the session immediately.

6. Query limits

The Service applies free daily Query allowances, reset at midnight Europe/Warsaw time:

• Guest (no Account): no access to the chat — every other tab of the Service works without limits and without logging in;
• Logged-in User: 1 free Query per day.

Once the free allowance is used up, further Queries are only possible from the assistant credits granted as a thank-you for support (§ 7). The free daily allowance also applies per IP address: one address gets 1 free Query per day, regardless of the number of Accounts. Up to 3 Accounts can be created from one IP address per day. Current values are always shown in the Service; the Provider reserves the right to change them.

7. Voluntary support and assistant credits

Use of the Service is and remains free of charge. The Provider does not sell access to the Service or to any of its features, and making a donation is not a condition for using anything described in § 3, including the free Queries under § 6.

A User may voluntarily support the running of the Service (the server, the databases and the third-party language-model bill) with a donation made on the Provider's profile on Patreon (patreon.com). The payment is handled solely by Patreon Inc. under that service's own terms — the Provider does not take payments directly and neither processes nor has access to card details. Donations may only be made by persons with full legal capacity.

A donation is not payment for a service. As a thank-you for support, the Provider credits the User's Account with assistant credits — an internal unit for settling chat Queries — and raises the saved-set limit. This is a free and voluntary benefit: the Provider does not guarantee any particular number of credits, Queries or any particular limit, and the figures published on the Patreon profile (including the indicative number of Queries a number of credits corresponds to) are illustrative and may be changed for the future.

How the assistant credits work:

• credits are added automatically once the Account is linked to a Patreon account (the "Connect with Patreon" button in the "Account" panel); without that link the Provider has no way to attribute support to an Account;
• the free daily allowance (§ 6) is always used first, and only then the credits;
• each Query takes as many credits off the balance as it cost to answer with the third-party language model, at a fixed rate: 1 credit corresponds to USD 0.001 of computing cost at the provider's peak-hour rate, whatever the time of the Query; a Query takes at least 1 credit and no more than the single-Query limit (currently 30 credits);
• how many Queries a pool of credits covers depends on their complexity (how much game data the assistant has to read) and is given as an indication only;
• a single Query has a computing-cost limit no higher than the credit balance when it is asked: once it is reached, the Service answers from the data gathered so far and says so in the answer; access ends when the balance reaches zero — the balance cannot go negative;
• the credit balance and the indicative number of Queries are shown in the Service above the Query box;
• a Query the Service did not answer because of an error on the Service's side does not charge the balance — the charge is reversed automatically; if the connection is dropped on the User's side before the answer started to appear, the Query is not charged either, and after that point it is charged with the cost used up to the moment of the drop;
• credits do not expire and roll over to following periods for as long as the Account exists;
• credits cannot be exchanged for money or transferred to another Account;
• deleting the Account under § 12 erases the credit balance irreversibly, including when the User deletes the Account themselves; unlinking the Patreon account keeps the existing credits but stops further top-ups;
• extra Queries granted before 2 October 2026 were converted into credits at 1 Query = 30 credits, i.e. the single-Query limit — every previous Query still covers at least one.

Saved-set limit:

• an Account can hold a limited number of saved sets of each kind (character builds, policy sets, smithing sets, hand-made weapons, army plans, equipment sets), counted separately for each kind and each game version; an Account without support — one set of each kind, supporters' Accounts — more, depending on the support tier; the current values are shown in the Service when saving;
• the higher limit follows from the tier of the most recent support and applies for as long as the Account has unused assistant credits or the support on Patreon is active, i.e. no more than 35 days have passed since the last paid charge;
• a lower limit deletes nothing: sets saved above the limit stay available — they can be opened, overwritten and deleted — and only saving a new set requires getting back under the limit.

Cancelling support, refunding it and any complaint about the payment itself are handled by Patreon Inc. under its own terms; the Provider does not issue refunds of donations. Discontinuing the Service under § 11 does not oblige the Provider to refund donations received or to pay out the value of unused credits; the Provider will announce a planned discontinuation in the Service in advance where possible.

8. Rules of use

It is prohibited to:

• submit unlawful, offensive content or content infringing third-party rights;
• attempt to circumvent Query limits (e.g. repeated registration, IP masking);
• automate requests, scrape the Service, or place an excessive load on its infrastructure;
• enter personal data — your own or third parties' — or confidential information into the chat. Message content is sent to a third-party language-model provider outside the European Economic Area (see Privacy Policy, § 5).

9. Nature of AI-generated answers

Chat answers are generated by an artificial-intelligence system (a language model). In accordance with Article 50 of the EU AI Act, we state plainly: you are talking to an AI system, not a human being. Answers may be incomplete, outdated or inaccurate and do not constitute advice of any kind. The conversation history sent to the model is limited to the last 8 turns or 24,000 characters, whichever is reached first.

10. Intellectual property

Rights to Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord content belong to TaleWorlds Entertainment and other rightsholders.

11. Liability and availability

The Service is provided free of charge, "as is", with no uptime guarantee. The Provider reserves the right to take the Service down temporarily for maintenance or to discontinue it. The Provider's liability towards consumers is limited only to the extent permitted by applicable Polish law and does not exclude liability for damage caused intentionally. Making a donation (§ 7) does not change the free-of-charge character of the Service and does not oblige the Provider to guarantee any level of availability or any number of Queries.

12. Termination and Account deletion

A User may delete their own Account at any time — in the "Account" panel, using the "Delete account" button, after confirming with their password. Deletion is immediate and irreversible: it erases the username, password hash, entire chat history, all saved character builds, policy sets, smithing sets, hand-made weapons, army plans and equipment sets, the link to the Patreon account, the history of credit top-ups and use, and also the assistant credit balance (§ 7), which cannot be restored or settled. The Provider may delete an Account that violates these Terms.

13. Complaints

Complaints about the Service can be sent to contact@bannerlorddb.com, including a description of the issue and contact details. Complaints are handled within 14 days of receipt.

A complaint may also concern the assistant credit balance (§ 7) — in particular a Query charged to the balance although no answer was given, or support that was not credited to the Account. An upheld complaint of this kind is settled by restoring the credit balance; as the Service is free of charge, the Provider makes no monetary settlements with Users. Complaints about the payment on Patreon itself are handled by Patreon Inc.

14. Consumer rights

A User who is a consumer has the right to withdraw from the digital content agreement (the Account) within 14 days without giving a reason — in practice exercised by deleting the Account under § 12, at no cost since the service is free and the User pays the Provider no price and supplies no personal data in exchange for access. The assistant credits and the higher saved-set limit referred to in § 7 are a free benefit; a donation made through Patreon, including its refund and any right of withdrawal from the contract concluded with Patreon Inc., is governed by that service's terms. Disputes may be brought before the competent common court, a consumer ombudsman, or via the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform (ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr).

15. Changes to these Terms

The Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms. The updated version is published at the same address with a new effective date. A logged-in User is informed of the change in the Service and asked to accept the new version; a User who disagrees may delete their Account per § 12.

16. Governing law and language versions

These Terms are governed by Polish law. The Polish version (/regulamin) is the binding version. This English version (/terms) is provided for information only and yields to the Polish version in case of discrepancy.
